This project is meant to provide an easy way to create new grid-based layouts using a simple data structure. The structure will be grid-based, and easily extensible using a parent-child relationship of cells in a grid, which are easily embeddable.
- Grid-based system. The grid consists of fixed-width cells, where each cell
holds data. The type of data held by the cell is decided after the
fact.
- Current Restriction includes no changes in the dimensions of the grid.
- Grid consists of rows and columns, which are sized based on a defined sizing notation. The basic sizing notation will be fixed-width of points.
- Grid Cells fill the grid in row-column order.
- Grid Cells can contain Another Grid, with it’s own set of defined layout properties.
- Grid Cells can contain just about anything that can be stored in a div.
Cell types are not limited to the set of suggested types provided here. This is just a baseline for my current line of work.
- BackgroundCell
- Shows nothing but the bare essentials, but provides facilities for changing background color.
- ImageCell
- Shows a given image
- ImageSequenceCell
- Shows a set of images in a given sequence. The sequence can be given further parameters to decide on how long the duration of each image should be.
- FlightDisplayCell
- A special Grid, for displaying flight information.
- (сітка) Sitka, Ukrainian for Grid. Sitka.js
- GitterGrid.js
The Grid consists of a JSON structure which contains references to other information within the system.
